"NEGRO ACQUITTED
• OF PAVO ASSAULT
RALPH WILSON COULD NOT BE
POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED.
SPECIAL COURT HELD.
t -?’ H0MASVILLE » Ga.—In a special
of the superior court of Thomas
county, Ralph Wilson, a negro ac¬
cused of assault, was declared not
guilty.
Judge Thomas convened the court
this morning and after only about one
hour deliberation, the grand jury re¬
turned a true bill. Excluding from
court officials and those connected
with the crime, the case was imme¬
diately entered into.
The victim, a prominent white girl
iving in the Barwick neighborhood,
in Thomas county, related as far as
she couid the attack made upon her
while at home alone Monday after
noon, November 29, at 2 o’clock. The
assailant was a negro who threw her
down and choked her into insensibil¬
ity with a rope which was lying on
porch of the home. She was found
two hours later by her sister and did
not recover until 10 o’clock sufficiently
to give any description of the man.
Victim Placed on Stand.
The evidence showed that various
^ negroes were brought before her, in
eluding the negro Wilson on trial.
.She was mixed in the identification at
the time. Later she identified the
negro, Wilson, among three others at
£e jail as being the one. On the
stand, in answer to a direct question,
“You are not positive now this is the

QUARANTINE RULES AND REGULATIONS
OF STATE BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY ON
THE MOSAIC DISEASE OF SUGAR CANE
Whereas, the fact has been deter¬
mined that a serious disease of su¬
gar cane, known as the Mosaic Di¬
sease is widely distributed in several
states of the United States, namely:
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louis¬
iana and Texas, and in several coun¬
ties in Georgia, namely, Grady,
Thomas, Brooks, Colquitt Mitchell,
and that part of Decatur east of the
Flint river, and that this disease can
be readily transported and spread in
the shipments of cane; and
Whereas, the disease is very de¬
structive and is liable to spread from
these states to Georgia and from the
infected counties in Georgia to other
sections of the state, causing great
damage to the sugar cane industry.
Now Therefore, The Georgia State
Board of Entomology by virtue of the
authority invested in it by Section
2125-2135 of the General Code of
Georgia, hereby declares the above
mentioned state and counties in Geor¬
gia to be quarantined areas and pro¬
hibits the shipment or movement
into Georgia of sugar cane and
other plants that may carry
the disease originating in Ala¬
bama, Florida, Louisiana, Missis¬
sippi and Texas and other states
which now are, or may later»become
infected with the Mosaic Disease of
sugar cane. Sugar cane originating
in foreign countries is not permitted
to enter the state, except in accord¬
ance with the rules and regulations
of the Federal Quarantine law; and it
is further provided:
(1) That the shipment or move¬
ment of sugar cane or other plants
likely to be infected with the Mosaic
Disease, originating in Grady, Thom¬
as Brooks, C.olquitt and Mitchell
counties and that part of Decatur east
of the Flint river, to other localities
within the state is hereby prohibited.
(2) That the shipment or move¬
ment of sugar cane, except of the re¬
sistant varieties from farm to farm
or from county to county, without a
permit will not be allowed in the
above named counties.*”
(3) That no sugar cane known as
the Green Cane (or the common gar¬
den variety) shall be planted, banked,
sold or given away or stubble allowed
to grow after 1920, in the counties of
Thomas, Grady, Brooks, Colquitt
Mitchell, and that part of Decatur
county, east of the Flint river.
(4) After the year 1921 no cane
except the resistant varieties will be

oughly adjusted himself to

service. Even the writing which
has planned to do after leaving
White House, will be postponed
several months, his friends say.
Will Remain in Capital.
Mr. Wilson is understood to
declined a number of invitations
spend part of the summer out
Washington, but because of his
light with the pleasant weather
last summer, the first which he
spent in the city, it is regarded
unlikely that he will accept any
these invitations.

His chief diversion since his
has been reading. He is said to
practically exausted the field of
tective stories, of which he has
ways»been especially fond, and
recently has takeft up nbvels
allowed to be planted or grown in
Grady county. It is provided further
that after 1921 no cane except the
resistant varieties will be allowed to
be planted or grown in Thomas coun¬
ty west of the following line: A line
one mile east of the Dixie Highway
from the Mitchell county line to
Thomasville south following the Mon
ticello road to the Florida line,
unless the territory. is free
from the Mosaic Disease. In
the remainder of Thomas county, Col¬
quitt, Brooks, Mitchell and Decatur
counties, no cane from diseased fields
will be allowed to be planted in 1921;
and where the stubble is allowed to
grow from a diseased field, growers
will be required to rogue out all the
diseased cane in 1921. In this ter¬
ritory the board will notify by writing
as far as possible, all parties whose
fields are known to be affected with
the disease.
The Board makes these rules and
regulations because of the heavy in¬
festation in Grady and the western
part of Thomas county, believing that
they cannot eradicate the disease in
any other way. In the remaining ter¬
ritory, where the disease is very light,
the Board hopes to eradicate the di¬
sease, or at least prevent its further
spread.
The Georgia State Board of Ento¬
mology is anxious to assist the cane
growers in every way possible to
eradicate the disease and respectfully
asks the co-operation of all cane
growers in enforcing these regula¬
tions. The Board suggests and re¬
quests all the growers in the quaran¬
tined area who can conveniently do
so, to plant in 1921, only the resistant
varieties of sugar cane.
The Georgia State Board of Ento¬
mology has full power to formulate
rules and regulations for the control
and extermination of ^ plant diseases,
and has power to enter upon the
premises of anyone to ‘carry out its
rules and regulations. It is a misde¬
meanor to obstruct or hinder the Geor¬
gia State Board of Entomology or its
agents in its work. See Georgia
Code 1910, Section 2126.
All quarantine rules and regula¬
tions in conflict with the above are
hereby repealed.

regulations to becorrieefiective on and

President Attends Theatre.
Having apparently suffered no ill
effects from his attendance at the
theatre last week—his first appear¬
ance in public since he was taken
ill more than eighteen months ago
President Wilson again attended the
theatre tonight. He was accompan¬
ied by Mrs. Wilson and her brother,
John Randolph Bolling.
The President tonight chose a mu¬
sical comedy in contrast with the
heavier production. John Drinkwa
ters’ Abraham Lincoln, which he saw
on his first visit. Mr. Wilson and
his party reached the theatre about
fi^e minutes before the performance
began, and as on his previous ’ visits
he, aided only by a cane, walked to
one of the lower boxes.
The audience, not so much taken by
surprise as last week, immediately
arose and cheered loudly. The Presi¬
dent responded by bowing.
Dentist Pulls Tooth
From Roaring Lioness
_
NEW YORK.—Seven yeai’s ago,
under an African sun, Queenie wob¬
bled unsteadily through the jungle, a
cub lioness. Today, in the Brooklyn
zoological gardens, she gasped while
a dentist, aided by keepers, iron bars
and great dental instruments, broke
out a blackened tusk which had given
her a toothache. Her teeth had suc¬
cumbed to the white man’s civiliza¬
tion. Iodine, cotton batting and co¬
caine were made ready with forceps
and probes.
A half hour of uproar and the lion¬
ess was made fast. A side of the
cage was opened and her head was
dragged to the opening. Then the
park department veterinary began
his work, while Queenie strained at
the ropes. Keepers with a rope about
her head held it down as gently as
possible and placed a crowbar be¬
tween her jaws.
When Queenie was released, she
roared and tried to leap to her feet,
but she was too weak and sank to
the floor.

LEOPARD REARS
CHILD IN JUNGLES
BEAST STOLE CHILD FROM HIS
MOTHER AND KEPT HIM 3
YEARS.. A “WILD” BOY.
The story of a leopard child, the ve¬
racity of which is vouched for by E.
C. Stuart Baker, a member of the
Zoolological Society of Great Britain,
has created great interest among the
scientists throughout the world. Ac¬
cording to an investigation by Mr.
Baker, he discovered a small boy liv¬
ing in a village in the North Cachar
hills, in India, who had been stolen
by a leopard and kept in the jungles
for three long years.
Mr. Baker said he was in that part
of India some months ago when he
was met with protests on the part of
a certain native, who objected to fur¬
nishing his share of “forced labor,”
a form of taxation still used in iso¬
lated parts of India. When Mr. Ba¬
ker questioned the native the reply
was given that he had a little “wild”
son to look aftex-.
Story of the “Wild” Boy.
The Britain accordingly went into
the hut, where he saw a small boy
about seven years old squatting on
the ground like an animal. As soon
as Mr. Baker came near him he put
his head in the air, sniffed about and
then ran on all fours to his father.
The boy was almost blind. The boy’s
father then narrated this story, which
Mr. Baker believes to be true.
About five years ago the villagers
found two leopard cubs close to the
little community. The cubs were
killed. The mother leopard had track¬
ed the slayers back to the village
and had haunted the outskirts for sev¬
eral days. The third day a woman
cutting rice laid her infant boy on a
cloth while she went on with hex
work. Hearing a cry, she turned and
saw a leopard bounding away and
carrying the child with it. The whole
village turned out and hunted for the
leopard and the boy, but without suc¬
cess. i
About three years later a leopard¬
ess was killed close to the village by
a sportsman, who brought news to
the natives that the leopard had cubs
that he. had failed to secure. ’ The
whole village turned out and event¬
ually captured the cubs and one child.

He was at once identified fby his

When brought before Mr. Baker the
boy had been more or less tamed. He
walked upright except startled into
extra rapid action, was friendly with
his own villagers, whom he seemed
to know by scent, would eat rice and
vegetables and consented to sleep in
his father’s hut at night. His blind¬
ness was not in any way due to his
treatment by the leopax-d. When
caught the child was in perfect con¬
dition and with quite an exceptional
development of xxiuscle.

MACE GIDDENS CLAIMS HE WILL

W. P. Giddens, at Doles, Ga., a few
weeks ago, sent Deputy E. J. Han¬
cock and Ed Giddens to East Chicago
after the negro, who first agreed to
come without requisition papers, but
then immediately instituted habeas
corpus proceedings and succeeded in
getting a hearing. Upon the hear¬
ing,. without this state being repre¬
sented at the trial, he was re¬
leased, but was immediately re-ar
x-ested as a fugitive, all of which hap¬
pened before the x-equisition papers
reached the governor of Indiana.
Sheriff Sumner, upon learning of
the proceedings, brought the matter
up before the commissioners of
Worth county and they passed a res¬
olution that no expense would be
spared to bring the negro or any oth¬
er criminal back for trial, and a
speedy trial given, even though a
special term of coux-t had to be called
for that purpose.

Deputy Hancock reports that ne¬

raised something like $1,500 to be
used in the defense of the negro, Mace
Giddens, and that able counsel has
been employed to resist his return

he would be lynched by a mob if
brought back, which, of course, would
not happen, as county authorities say
he would be given the fullest protec¬
